How to Use This Ministry Directory:

As you seek to grow in your spiritual journey, we encourage you to use this guide to find the right places for you to worship, connect, and serve. We believe that your spiritual growth can be accelerated by engaging in a combination of these three spiritual venues. First, we encourage you to participate in weekend worship services where you can be ushered into the presence of the Lord through corporate worship and relevant, engaging study of the Bible. Second, we encourage you to experience life with others in a church ministry, church Bible study, or community group where you can form deep and lasting friendships, grow in your walk with the Lord with others, and reach out to our surrounding community with friends. Third, we encourage you to use your God-given spiritual gifts, passions and interests, abilities, personality, and experience to make a positive, lasting impact in our church and city through a service opportunity. You will find ways to accomplish these objectives in a manner that fits your needs, interests, and schedule. Our objective is to walk alongside of you and your family to create an individualized spiritual growth plan to help you fully encounter the power and love of Jesus in your life.

For assistance in your spiritual journey, please contact Pastor J.P. at 392-9061 or jpmertens@yes2God.org.

Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions (Women’s Study) Time/Place: starting 8/29 from 7-8:30 PM Family Resource Center, Rm 113 Leader: Cindy Norton (719)255-3212 or nortonc60@yahoo.com Raw emotions are those feelings we hide from others but take out on those we love most. We may exhibit patience and kindness when talking with the grocery clerk, a co-worker, even the difficult person at the returns counter; but, at home, sometimes the smallest, most trivial things set women off, sparking an angry word, cruel comment behind someone's back, or a flood of tears.

All women experience these 'unglued feelings' at times, often when they least expect it. These emotions are not wrong, in fact they are God-given. However, our emotions should be indicators not dictators. Each experience is an opportunity to either fall back into patterns that make us wallow in guilt or chose more wisely and make progress. In Unglued, TerKeurst equips women with spiritual strategies to help them manage their reactions. It's one thing to tell a woman to control her feelings but a whole new kind of help to show her step by step how to let this situation work for her rather than against her.. Requirements: Purchase both the book and participant’s guide Unglued by Lysa TerKeurstChildcare provided (RSVP required) - $ 5/week for first child, $2.50 for each additional child up to $10/family/week. Children must be enrolled with group leader.
